PROJECT DETAILS:

The Friends of the Sandia Mountains (FOSM) will continue work on the Cienega-Armijo Trail Improvement Project (CATIP) for the Sandia Ranger District. We will go back to extend section TC06 with the eventual goal of connecting to Faulty Trail, #195.

We will be accessing the work site from private property with limited parking. Because we must carpool to the extent possible and the trails are not well marked, I do not recommend hiking out before we end the work session. The hike in is just over a mile with some steep climbs and rough terrain.

PLEASE RSVP:

So we can plan for tools, hard hats, and transportation, please let me know by email or text 1) IF you plan to participate, 2) IF you will need a hard hat, and 3) IF you have any questions.

START TIME:

Meet at the FOSM shed behind the Sandia Ranger District (SRD) on Thursday 6/20/19 ready to go at 0800. Bring your lunch, snacks, liquids, and sunscreen. Expect hot weather towards noon. We will work until around 1330.

REQUIRED ATTIRE:

The standard USFS trail work PPE requirements apply: approved hard hat, eye protection, no open-toed shoes, work gloves, and pants (no shorts), no exceptions. An approved hard hat can be provided if needed. NOTE: short-sleeved shirts are fine but brushing, including trail obliteration, requires long sleeves.

Weather and trail conditions can change quickly. Please watch for last minute project updates or cancellation.

Thanks. And I can amend this distribution list as desired.
